Surnames: Reids Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ReC.2ACI/2504 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on James and Isabella Reid that had 13 children-Names James-Jake-Colin-William-Sandy- Peter-David-Isabella-Margaret-Jane-Marion Christene. There a least 20 years between oldest and the youngest. Was told the mother was a landowning wealthy woman from the highlandsof Scotland.But her daughter Jane Reid did not inherit anything because she married a miner {John Doonan} so lived in relative povertycompared to her other siblings.I am wondering if anyone can tell me where in the highlands were there Reids and would have they been farmers or cloth makers? The reason I question this is because of a photo I have from the 1800`s? of the mother Isabella and her adult children in Scotland.They are well dressed and it is a photo of some kind of special occassion. Any help or information is appreciated. I need help! Thank you all!
